The Algerian government has released a list of the developers it has selected for 3 GW of solar tenders it finalized earlier this month.
It allocated the capacity as part of a 1 GW scheme launched in late 2021 and a 2 GW tender initiated in February 2023. The 2 GW procurement exercise will deliver 15 solar projects, with capacities ranging from 80 MW to 220 MW, in 12 provinces across the country. The tender attracted 20 bidders and a total of 77 offers.
In addition, it chose a consortium consisting of Power China and Zhongnan Engineering for a 150 MW project and PowerChina International and Sinohydro for a 200 MW plant.
Sonelgaz said construction should start in the first half of this year. However, civil engineering and structure production cannot begin until the utility grants formal approval. Once the studies are validated, manufacturers will procure locally made mounting structures, in line with local content requirements.
